The FIA says it will review the engine change penalty regulations in the WRC following Tanak's case in Rally Estonia.
when his M-Sport team was forced to change the engine on his Ford Puma after it developed a significant fault during Thursday's shakedown before the rally had begun.
Tanak is now utilising the second engine of his allotted pool, which will now have to last the remaining five events of the campaign. A further change will result in another five-minute penalty. "Every time there is an issue like this we have to review and understand, but clearly there is a clear penalty for when you go above two engines [per season]," Andrea Wheatley, the FIA's road sport director, told Motorsport.com.
"Obviously we need to review the situation and I feel desperately sorry for Ott and the rest of the team.
